I maintain that's more of a language barrier issue  8)  He never tried to deny the actual Existence of TWG, angels, or demons, he only refused to commit to any particular characterization of them.  They could be simply benevolent aliens from the 5th dimension or some such (accurate enough description as I understand things).

Wanderer ever try ars magicka the church plays a huge role in that game and it is by far the best magic system i have ever come across

Much as I like Ars Magica, it's not a good game for someone who dislikes seeing Abrahamic worldviews privileged. 5e, at least, is very clear that the Abrahamic faiths are backed by the One True God and that the medieval Church is basically right about everything. (Which introduces some oddness, when the Abrahamic faiths contradict, but that's part of the game's charm if you ask me.)

Rather, ArM5e holds that all monotheistic faiths whose Deity is essentially "good" (in the conventional sense of the word) are more or less equally-correct, but their respective earthly religious orders suffer from various flaws of understanding that lead to doctrinal differences (and yes, conflict).
So (for example) Mithraism and Zoroastrianism are also "as correct" as the Abrahamic religions.
